BELE CHERE , CICADA and PHILOSOPHY.

July 30, 2008 by onair

cicada

  •  BELE CHERE  - A moment I will always remember from Bele Chere,  is   one with the crowd silently massed around  picketers on Place de La Concorde, pardon me, Place Vance.  Imagine the scene.  One man is holding the usual  ” Homosexuality is  Sin ” banner.  Next to him, shoulder to shoulder,  another man  holds another one ” Proud of my Homosexuality”.   Bele Chere was a place of intense solitude …
  • CICADA - Some of those alien insects have not returned to  their spaceships, and like ET, they are still vibrating around.  I  invite you to hear the special report I did for WPVM/Paris of the South radio hour  in June when the first neighbors discovered the site of the landing.
  • The European Philosophy Festival : The French economy may be gloomy but you can still have fun with philosophy.  A special festival in Saint- Emilion near  Bordeaux where the theme is… happiness.

Dance With Me on Your Mom’s Idea

July 28, 2008 by onair

Just to clear up any rumors that may have been started by jealous people walking by the Orange Peel at 1:30 a.m. Friday morning….Becky did not run off and get married to Rhett Miller, lead singer of the Old 97′s…but you can’t blame a guy for trying.Because of blown fuses on stage, the group didn’t get to play their single, “Dance With Me.” Listen in Monday from 2 to 4 to hear the song, and lots of other fun tunes that will make you want to jump out of your chair and boogie. See more great pictures from our rock star adventure as well as links and playlists here.
